Christy, if you took out all the studs under the header what is hard about building the front edge of the stand as part of the lower wall? all it means is you build you stand in place and you individualy cut the studs to the proper size to keep everything level, only adds about 1/2 a hour to the rough framming of the stand at most. then you make it so you tank will rest on the studs, so when you put your drywalkl up the tank will be recessed 1/2". then you can get some nice moulding and wrap this 1/2" and onto the wall which will give you a nice finnished look.
I wouldn't even concider not building it into the wall as IMHO a inwall tank should look like a picture on the wall.
